"The 5R4 is directly heated and turns on almost as fast as SS diodes. Also, the forward drop in 5R4s is large, a whopping 67 V. at a 250 mA. draw."
The 5R4 doesn't turn on nearly as fast as diodes. I use one in series in each of my 211 monos, and the 211s are heated well before HV appears. Second, the drop at 100mA is about 50V. It's not a "whopping" 50V when the supply is putting out more than 1KV. :)
